Welcome to L'Aromatique!

Greetings and Hello!

I have created this blog dedicated to cooking and sharing recipes, tips, and ideas! Terminology, techniques, and signature dishes are sure to be supplied. To kick this off, I will be posting the guidelines for our virtual recipe swap!

Quickly here are the basics:
- Email me that you are going to participate, and how you'd like your name to be displayed
~ ( Ex: ) D. Archer, Dawn A., Dawn, etc.
- Send your recipes (as many as you'd like) to me at: FusionGrafx@gmail.com
- Please let me know if this is your creation, a family recipe, or a non-original (but tasty anyway!), include any tips you may have, for example: Do NOT double. How did you come to make this dish, what was the inspiration, and anything else you'd like to share about it.

NOTE: Please send your recipes in by Sunday, December 20th to allow me enough time to put them all together and email them out by Christmas.

PS: Feel free to send in photos, they aren't required, but are always fun and welcome!

From that point on, I will take care of putting all our recipes together in a manageable form and post them all. In addition, I'll be sending them out to each of you in PDF format or something similar to make printing them possible incase there is something you just have to try.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share! Chat again soon!
